CT: Here are some points to ponder: These comments were made by a noted political science Professor currently on sabbatical. A. What ever happened to judicial neutrality? This guy has foreordained the trial's conclusion, since we all know what happened to Standard Oil. Who does he think he is, Ida Tarbell? B. If he takes his historical analogy seriously, he will do nothing, since most historians agree that by the time Standard Oil was broken up, natural economic developments had already overcome Standard Oil's monopoly. C. In at least one important sense his analogy rings true: the Standard Oil case was certainly not about harm to the consumers. It was about extreme envy of an individual and unhappy competitors who couldn't beat him at his own game. E. Rockefeller was made even wealthier by the break-up, as he then owned substantial stakes in what became Exxon, Sonoco, Mobil, etc. For those wishing Bill Gates ill, this is not an outcome they should hope for. F. $93!!!! With all these good products inbound? I ran out of money to buy more MSFT! JFD
